Hi all,

As a preamble to a much more involved LEGO-like tool that I am working
on, I thought I'd going ahead and make the following applet available:

Pixelego Viewer
http://www.ericharshbarger.org/cgi-bin/j?pixelegoviewer/index.html

(or just go to http://www.ericharshbarger.org/java/ and follow the
links).

This applet is freely available for download, so if you want to spruce
up any LEGO-themed webpages by displaying 'Pixelego-ed' images, go
ahead. Instructions on download/embedding are available at the java
address above.

cheers,

eric

This didn't work for me. The left image was certainly cute but the right image never filled in although the applet was running. Does it take a while? Do I need a newer browser than NS 4.07? Or is it that the **USER** has to be a little pixellated (...) (25 years ago, 26-Jan-00, to lugnet.general)

Very cool applet Eric! Very odd too, as I was JUST thinking to myself last night how cool it would be to have a program that would do just this exact thing! (I was thinking along the lines of scanning in a photo of someone and having the program (...) (25 years ago, 26-Jan-00, to lugnet.general)

(...) mine assumes a top-down view and does bump-mapping to make the image look like it has LEGO studs on it. Your result looks very dithered - I assume you are doing something more non-local/intelligent than just area averaging. Steve (25 years ago, 27-Jan-00, to lugnet.general)

Eric, I love it! It produced some great images for me, especially if I limited the colors to blacks, whites, and grays. Does the program have some color functionality that I'm missing? Even the "Party Girl" picture on the main page seems to only (...) (25 years ago, 28-Jan-00, to lugnet.general)
